Hydrogen Generation Market size was over USD 172.42 billion in 2024 and is poised to exceed USD 574.48 billion by 2037, growing at over 9.7% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of hydrogen generation is evaluated at USD 186.64 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for green energy resources, high requirement to balance demand and supply in the power sector, and the growing need for long term power storage across the world. Along with these, high emissions of greenhouse gases are also expected to drive market growth in the coming years. Greenhouse gases are responsible for rising temperatures globally. Hydrogen is assessed to play a crucial role in facing climate emergency as renewable and nuclear electricity alone will never be able to provide all our energy needs, which in turn is projected to be a major factor to lead to market expansion in the near future.

APAC Market Statistics
Geographically, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa region. Asia Pacific industry is predicted to dominate majority revenue share by 2037, owing to rising requirement of energy in the region and escalating adoption of greener technologies to fulfil government's targets for reducing GHG emissions, especially in China and India.
Furthermore, North America is anticipated to garner the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the growing investment in research and development and the government’s support to promote hydrogen generation using innovation funds, mandatory targets, and public-private partnerships. In 2021, the United States’ hydrogen production is evaluated to constitute to about 12%–15% of global hydrogen production. Similarly, the market in Europe is also anticipated to occupy a significant share in the market on account of the increasing adoption of electric vehicles in the region.
April 27, 2021: In its report ‘Making the Hydrogen Economy Possible: Accelerating clean hydrogen in an electrified economy’, Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) states that the production costs for clean hydrogen can be brought well below USD 2/kg by 2030.
